Risk Change Over Time
- Innovation / R&D - Risk 1If we fail to develop and introduce new or enhanced data storage and management offerings successfully, our ability to attract and retain customers could be harmed.
We operate in a dynamic environment characterized by rapidly changing technologies and industry standards and technological obsolescence. To compete successfully, we must design, develop, market and sell new or enhanced data storage and management offerings that provide increasingly higher levels of performance, capacity, functionality and reliability and meet our customers' expectations, which is a complex and uncertain process. We believe that we must continue to dedicate significant resources to our research and development efforts and innovative business models such as Evergreen//One to improve our competitive position. We continue to expand our large capacity data storage offerings to compete directly with hard disk systems. Our investments may take longer to generate revenue or may generate less revenue than we anticipate. The introduction of new offerings by our competitors, or the emergence of alternative technologies or industry standards could render our Everpure Platform obsolete or less competitive. As we introduce new or enhanced offerings, we must successfully manage their launch and customer adoption. If we are not able to successfully manage the development and release of new or enhanced offerings, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed. Similarly, if we fail to introduce new or enhanced offerings, such as new or improved software features, that meet our customers' needs in a timely or cost-effective fashion, we may lose market share and our operating results could be adversely affected.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 49
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business and financial condition.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and under Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the price of our common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that could depress the trading price of our common stock by acting to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our management that our stockholders may deem advantageous. These provisions: - establish a classified Board of Directors so that not all members of our Board of Directors are elected at one time;- authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that our Board of Directors could issue to increase the number of outstanding shares to discourage a takeover attempt;- prohibit stockholder action by written consent, which requires all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;- prohibit stockholders from calling a special meeting of our stockholders;- provide that the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal our bylaws; and - establish advance notice requirements for nominations for elections to our Board of Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings. Additionally, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any "interested" stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an "interested" stockholder and which may discourage, delay, or prevent a change of control of our company. Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade our stock, our stock price could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will likely be influenced by research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts downgrades our stock, lowers their price target, or publishes unfavorable or inaccurate research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will enhance shareholder value, and share repurchases could affect the price of our common stock.
Our Board of Directors has periodically authorized share repurchases, funded from available working capital, including up to an additional $400.0 million authorized in December 2025. The repurchase authorization has no fixed end date. Although our Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program, this program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares. The share repurchase program could affect the price of our common stock, increase volatility and diminish our cash reserves.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile, and an active, liquid, and orderly market for our common stock may not be sustained.
The trading price of our common stock has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile. Since shares of our common stock were sold in our initial public offering in October 2015 at a price of $17.00 per share, our closing stock price has ranged from $8.76 to $118.16, through August 31, 2026. Some of the factors, many of which are beyond our control, affecting our volatility may include: - price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;- significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of technology companies in general and of companies in our industry;- actual or anticipated changes in our results of operations or fluctuations in our operating results;- whether our operating results meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors;- issuance or new or updated research or reports by securities analysts, including the publication of unfavorable reports or change in recommendation or downgrading of our common stock;- actual or anticipated developments in our competitors' businesses or the competitive landscape generally;- litigation involving us, our industry or both;- general economic conditions and trends, including the impact of interest rates on the overall stock market and the market for technology company stocks;- major catastrophic events;- sales of large blocks of our stock; or - departures of key personnel. In several recent situations where the price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class action litigation against the issuer. If any of our stockholders were to bring a lawsuit against us, the defense and disposition of the lawsuit could be costly and divert the time and attention of our management and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
